Our Core Team
• This process is time consuming and personal!!!
• And I’d spent my adult life in the military, so my organization looks…militant!• My team has high integrity• Deep commitment• Action oriented• And goal focused
•But the military DID teach me wrong…
Some challenges along the way…
What I was trained to ask for, what I really wanted…
The Infantry Battalion The Special Forces A-Team
• This is actually doable!!!• BUT, current technology only makes this process harder (too much information REALLY IS too much!)
• So we have to think differently• Once we have a new paradigm, our networks work for us again!
• Success is achievable, every day!
